I'm not entirely sure I know quite what you're after, but if you want to find out whenever something hits your firewall that you haven't allowed a rule for (either outgoing or incoming), then all those details are normally logged with syslog. There are loads of tools that can monitor syslog entries, and do various things like email you, or run an arbitrary program etc... There are probably things that interface directly with iptables, but using a syslog monitor is a lot more generic, as you can get it to alert you about all kinds of other useful things. I can't think of any products off the top of my head, but a quick freshmeat search revealed: http://caspian.dotconf.net/menu/Software/LogDog/ http://swatch.sourceforge.net/ http://69.56.132.179/~ury/ Hope that helps, Andre
